And, the realization that things do change &quot;in an instant&quot;.<br /><br />I will put Jack, Mark Aaron and on my prayer list and sweat a little harder, knowing I am so fortunate to do so.<br /><br />On a light note - I smiled as I walked by a new running store in our town. It had a HUGE sign in the window that said Sweat is your fat crying. Here&#39;s to crying out some sweat this week!<br /><br />Big hugs, sweet friend!<br />xoxo Elizabethpretty pink tulipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395215787881578608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078698061883704408.post-91635144086960326822012-01-11T12:04:37.880-06:002012-01-11T12:04:37.880-06:00how difficult it must be for these young men and t...how difficult it must be for these young men and their families. i will keep them all in my prayers. xo susanhometown girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485031464509205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078698061883704408.post-2612266512083492922012-01-11T08:59:49.096-06:002012-01-11T08:59:49.096-06:00I have been praying for Jabs, too.

A year and a half ago, my brother dived off a pier and broke his neck in shallow water, the exact same break that Christopher Reeve sustained, minus the spinal cord injury. Thank God today he still endures pain but is able to walk and work and father his 3 year old boy. How little we think of these things like walking and talking until we or someone we love no longer has the ability. I am grateful for every day of health my family has and thank you for the reminder of just how precious life is.Lisa @ Shine Your Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07301618725406172528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078698061883704408.post-30595071523824556512012-01-09T17:40:10.382-06:002012-01-09T17:40:10.382-06:00Suzanne, life can change in a moment just as you h...Suzanne, life can change in a moment just as you have illustrated. I have a dear friend who is a paraplegic who is also a nurse. He works for the VA hospital and for a time worked with spinal cord injured patients. He was and is a great example to those injured veterans. He still works at the VA in a different job and also leads a cub scout troupe. He is my hero.

My brother in law is a quadriplegic and has been for 16 years now.
